RECAP – PFS Screening of 12 Monkeys at Eastern State Penitentiary
So I’m back, but I have yet to write a post for T & T. I do have several food posts to write, which I plan to combine together in a post called Culinary Catch-Up; which makes me think of ketchup; which is fitting as the post will be just a sprinkle or flavoring of meals I’ve enjoyed. I also plan to re-blog 2 or 3 of the filmmaker interviews I did for QFest on the Qblog. But for now, all I’ve had a chance to do is PFS blog post for this month’s filmadelphiaClassics – 12 Monkeys.(Click to read)

Tinsel & Tine Mini-Hiatus
As previously mentioned, I was hired to write posts, fb & tweet out social media for Philadelphia Cinema Alliances’ QFEST 2011! The festival runs July 7th – 18th, but I’ve been at it steadily for the last two weeks; so be sure to check out the Qblog. Now that I’m blogging for both film organizations in Philadelphia, a full-time career in this arena can’t be far away!? Actually, I had some apprehension about accepting the QFest gig for three reasons: 1) As many Philly readers know, there once was only one non-profit film association, until a couple of years ago when there was a nasty split. I never chose sides;…

Commentary – BEGINNERS
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at Mike Mill’s BEGINNERS Beginners is a love story: love between a father and son / son and mother / a man and woman / a man and his father’s dog. Oliver (Ewan McGregor) is a handsome, talented commercial artist, who has recently lost his father, Hal (Christopher Plummer) to cancer. The story is told in a timeline that jumps around between Oliver’s present in which he’s falling in love with a winsome, French actress, Anna (Mélanie Laurent from Inglourious Basterds), his childhood memories of a slightly off kilter mother (Mary Page Keller), and a time of about 3-5 years ago, when his 75 year old…

Montauk, NY (Memorial Weekend 2011)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Me with a Mojito at Surf Lodge. Don’t know the dog’s name but let’s call him Mojito too! For me, it’s more important to have plans for the Memorial Weekend than New Year’s Eve. Although, I whine and cry and rail my fist to the heavens if I find myself home alone for either occasion. Thank goodness this year a friend made it possible to weekend in Montauk. Technically, I could even sound more bougie and say I went to the Hampton’s for the holiday weekend, as you do have to drive through this illustrious spot to summer, before reaching Montauk. We stayed at…
